Nucleation and growth of CdC 2 O 4 ·3H 2 O single crystals in silica gels
Bulletin of Materials Science(1993)
Abstract
As part of our work on growth of cadmium oxalate single crystals in gels, we describe here variation of nucleation density
and growth of these crystals as a function of concentration of feed solution, gel ageing, gel density, gel pH and intermediate
neutral gel column. While high density and high pH gels have been found to produce opaque crystals, good quality transparent
single crystals have been obtained in low density and low pH gels. It was observed that the intermediate neutral gel column
and gel ageing considerably reduced the number of nucleation sites and increased the size of the crystals without affecting
their quality. By concentration programming the size of the crystals increased.
